WE7000 Control Software

Description

Cautions before Downloading

This software can only be installed on PCs that already have a previous version of the software installed on them.

The file you will download has been compressed in self-extracting format. Please confirm that you have sufficient available space on your hard drive before downloading.

Depending on the program, some file sizes are large and can take a long time to download.

When the download is complete, choose Start > Run, or double-click the icon for the.exe file to start the installation.

The program overwrites your current version of the software, so it is not necessary to uninstall that software.

After installation, choose Help > About and confirm that the correct version has been installed (for the control software).

System Requirements

Install the WE7000 Control Software which comes standard with the measuring station) onto your PC, then use the software to control the measuring station and carry out a wide variety of measurements.

The table below lists the system requirements for this software. Make sure that the PC's specifications, peripherals and I/O slots are suitable for the WE7000.

OS/MachineWindows 95/98/Me, NT 4.0, 2000 or XP (DOS/V)

I/O slotOne slot for a half size PCI card is required when using the optical interface card WE7035 or WE7036.

CPUPentium II 400 MHz or faster

Memory128 MB or more

Available hard drive space20 MB or more

I/O address (when using the optical interface card)I/O port address, occupying an area of 3 words

IRQ settings(when using the optical interface card)Using one IRQ number

MiscellaneousCD-ROM drive for installation

Notes

The system requirements listed above are for a measuring station installed with two modules. Please be aware that the requirements for CPU and memory differ depending on the number and type of modules, and the sampling frequency.

System Requirements for other software:
The system requirements for other software are about the same as listed above. However, A PC with even higher performance is recommended when saving a large quantity of data in real time or when carrying out complex computations. To ensure stable operations, please use the Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000.

Ready to Run Control Software
Just double-click the Windows desktop icon for the WE7000 and control software will open and run. The software will recognize which modules are installed in the base station in a plug and play style. Within the control software, a setup panel for each module is available as well as a data viewer. The base station power can also be remotely turned on or off using the control software.

Control Everything from Viewer
While in the Data Viewer, you have complete control of your data acquisition. You can access the module setup (range, sampling speed, record length…), linear scaling, acquisition start/stop, trigger setup and many other parameters.

Saving Acquisition Data
The WE7000 will allow you to save data as a file in your specified media at every trigger. However, the most important thing is saving data to a file in real-time for continuous data acquisition. The WE7000 will accept various conditions to start and stop the creation of a file for continuous data acquisition.

During saving (creating) a file, the following indicator will show up to inform you of the status.

Bus Trigger, Arming and External Clock
Without any complicated software programming, the WE7000 base stations (WE400/WE800) are equipped with a bus for the input/output of two trigger signals(BUSTRG1 and BUSTRG2), and one time base signal (sampling clock, CMNCLK) to the I/O terminals on each of the modules and the base staion fron panel. They work simply by connecting each line to the modules, TRIGIN and EXT I/O within the Trigger Setup control panel.

The bus trigger signal is used to provide the timing in acquiring data. The CMNCLK (sampling clock) is used to provide the timing for the A/D sampling and the time for latching the digital signal. An arming signal is also provided so that multiple modules can start their measurement simultaneously. The bus trigger signal and CMNCLK signal are provided by the following sources:

Assorted Module Binding
In our data acquisition, we would like to measure or acquire data for several different types of inputs such as a voltage, temperature, load cell output, accelerometer output, or frequency. The WE7000 can bind several types of input modules to get one graph on the same time axis and one file for those various input signals.

Saving the Current Condition File
The WE7000 Control Software allows you to save the current condition (setup) of the WE7000 system in a single file (*.wes). This file can then be reloaded at any time. The WE7000 Control Software will start according to the contents of the file including sampling intervals, channel setups, position fo each viewer windows…

In the system configuration menu (shown at left), you can choose to turn on the base station power and automatically start the data acquisition process when a particular current condition (*.wes) file is opened and loaded.

Using the menu shown at right, you can also save the setup data for each module or base station individually. To save this setup data (*.set file), select the station or module in the Station List window by right clicking on the item, then select the Save Setup Data Option.
